First he was a sweat hog, then a wild hog.

Now, John Travolta's one of the "Old Dogs".

That's the name of his new comedy with Robin Williams.

They play best friends.

One a life long bachelor, the other a divorced guy, suddenly entrusted with caring for six-year old twins.

That's at the same time they're preparing for the biggest
business deal of their careers.

"Old Dogs" is rated PG.

George Clooney and Meryl Streep are just two of the stars lending their voices for "The Fantastic Mr. Fox".

Bill Murray and Owen Wilson are also in the mix.

Clooney voices the title character, a homebody fox that gives in to his base instincts and raids a chicken coup.

That puts angry farmers not only on Fox's trail but his whole family's as well.

"The Fantastic Mr. Fox" is rated PG.

Turkeys aren't the only things being carved up this holiday week.

"Ninja Assassin" will illustrate that point in graphic glory.

Rain plays one of the world's deadliest assassins, a guy who escaped the secret society that trained him after they murdered his best friend.

But when an Interpol agent zeroes in on the society, Rain has to protect her and confront his past.

"Ninja Assassin" is rated R.

Viggo Mortensen's coping with life after an apocalypse in the drama "The Road".

Mortensen's a dad trying to get his son to safety, but that means surviving obstacles along the way.

No zombies in this one, but plenty of desperate people doing anything necessary to survive.

Charlize Theron also stars, along with Robert Duvall.

The film's based on a Pulitzer Prize winning book.

"The Road" is rated R.
